Evaluation

It is admirable that the idea of rotation for vertical or horizontal position, not with a mechanical solution such as rotation mechanism, but with a leg on the back of the frame. By using a single-piece modeling for the leg with a continuous surface, the product has a presence as a "solid object". It also works effectively as one of the product features.
